The better market opportunity would be SE that figured out a way to serve their customer base better. Splintering isn't always the best answer. For instance, the very valid "meta is murder" ideas lead SE to ban meta, and the need for meta led them to create a separate place to discuss meta issues for SE. But...it wasn't the SE community having the meta discussions then. It was a separate community with some overlap. IMO it was a bad move. To be fair, doing it right is an unsolved problem.
